8-19-09 Gillespie Center
Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers

The Gillespie Center is a beautiful building, surrounded by neatly kept gardens. This back window had a wonderful view. The Gillespie Center is a Community Center and Senior Center where everyone is welcome! Kids & people of all ages. It is a place where you can remain visible and involved in the community. The aim of Gillespie Center is to present a wide range of programs that will appeal to everyone in the community.
After arriving, I took a few moments to enjoy the room, and review the book.

Abby didn’t hesitate to make herself right at home. As you can see, she appears comfortable in front of the room! In this photo, we are starting our Abby Sunshine presentation.

I briefly spoke, then read A Day with Abby Sunshine. I talked with folks in a question/answer format. It was a really nice group- with some grandmas bringing in their grandchildren to meet Abby and hear the story!

Some of the kids came up for a photo with Abby!

Now Abby’s thinking, “what next?”
